Biography
Edgar Cavallini was an enforcer for American Mafia boss Joe Masseria, and he was sent to assassinate heroin dealer Bugsy Siegel when he headed to Midtown to sell drugs on behalf of Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky. Cavallini asked Siegel where the nearest Turkish bath house was, and Siegel pulled a gun on him, detecting trouble. Another henchman restrained Siegel as Cavallini prepared to attack him, but Meyer Lansky shot Cavallini in the head, scaring off the other henchman. The other henchman fled as a passenger in a getaway car, and Luciano, Lansky, and Siegel became enemies with Masseria.
